Rose Street Festival – Sunday July 4th 2010: 11 am – 5 pm.
There’ll be dancing on the Street on Sunday 4th July as Rose Street in Edinburgh hosts its own wee Festival. From the professional to the amateur – performers of all description will bring the Street alive with the sound of music.
Each of the four blocks of Rose Street will be animated with either dance, street theatre, ceilidh or buskers!
Dance – hosted by Sadie Flower, the winner of the original Strictly Dance Fever, there’ll be performances and workshops of break dancing, disco and Lindi Hop!
Street Theatre – there’ll be shows from leading ‘breakers’ Ghetlow Pirates as well as monkeying around with ‘Creature Feature – Plan it with the Apes’. There’s acrobatics, comedy characters and a musical Nun! Expect the unexpected.
Ceilidh – showcasing the very best in traditional Scottish music, including local favourites the Portobello Ceilidh Band.
Buskers – calling all amateurs! Rose Street will provide the perfect stage for the entertainers you hate to love. Whether it’s a rendition of ‘Wonderwall’ or a self-penned future classic we’ll be asking the public to score every busker. By the end of the day we will name the best busker who will win a private singing lesson (not that they need one).
The Festival has been organised by Essential Edinburgh.
